You are having allergic conjunctivitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I am Dr.Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
It seems from the history that you are having allergic conjunctivitis.
Since it is responding to use of steroid eye stops in the form of lotepred, no need to worry.
You need to taper the steroid eye drops over 3-4 months and along with this you need to use anti- allergic eye drops like olopatadine.
Along with this you need to avoid allergen if any and need to continue tablets as advised by your rheumatologist.
You will be fine no need to worry.
Do consult your ophthalmologist for prescription of drugs.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
